Gaming on the Nintendo DS

Cradle of Rome is a puzzle type game.  The game is a lot like 7 Wonders of the Ancient World, but much more addicting (at least it was for a puzzle game lover like me!).  The basic gameplay involves you moving tiles around to match up three in a row and clear the background blue tiles until you have cleared them all.  There is a time limit, but at least until around level 50 it never was an issue for me.  Plus even if you run out of time you can just try the level over.

The gameplay is more interesting because as part of the story mode you try to accumulate enough resources, gold, and food to build Rome.  You know the saying Rome was not built in a day.  Well, try as I did even in the game I did not build Rome in a day, although it did only take me three days to complete all 100 levels.  That may seem like the game lacks depth, but I played it almost non stop to beat it and even after beating it the game still holds appeal because the levels are very replayable.

Overall this game is awesome in my opinion.  If you do not like puzzle games, then you probably will not like this game, but if you do like puzzle games like me then you probably will enjoy this game.  The graphics are decent, although there is some poor graphics on the side with the bonus item meters being kind of messed up looking often.
